Getting Around

SF Travel is a one-stop shop for exploring the city of San Francisco and surrounding areas, and a great place to start planning. Check out SF Travel's Guide to Public Transportation, which includes info, links and transportation costs for many Bay Area and City services (BART, MUNI, Amtrak, etc.). Tips: For MUNI times and buses, go to 511.org or you can call 511.

When using BART -- a.k.a. the Bay Area Transit System -- you can't go wrong visiting the Beer by BART page, a fantastic resource for mapping out your craft beer stops.

If heading north for, ahem, a certain special beer release, or any of the many exciting events being planned up there, swing by our friends at Visit Santa Rosa for advance travel planning and scheduling your stay.

There are many tour companies serving the Bay Area, and one of our favorites is SF Adventure Travel, which is very active in the craft beer community. Do a search to find their special beer week tours once the schedule goes live.

Of course, we encourage having fun at SF Beer Week events throughout the Bay Area, but please be responsible and use public transit whenever possible. Here’s a list of transportation options to help get you around!
